    Message from one of the Mother’s who have twin girls with Niemann Pick Type C.  Please help by voting!  Thank you!

    Dear Friends:

    We have a very big meeting with Babies R Us next week in New Jersey to see if they will carry the BellyLaf product line.   This is our second meeting.   10% of BellyLaf’s profits go into research into Rare Diseases. Please help us out and vote “Use It” for our product on the Parenting Magazine Poll.

    We have a competitor who keeps voting no for our product which can hurt our chances of getting picked up.

    Please go to the following poll:  http://www.parenting.com/Common/commonPoll.jsp?id=293.

    Vote USE IT!

    Thanks so much for your help!  We’ll let you know if we get picked up.

    Best,

    Chris
